I have both the T6 and Spitfire and fly them both regularly but the P51 really surprised me. After making sure my trim settings are correct and taking much more care I finally managed to take of, fly and land a couple of times.
I will apply the information I learned here for the new challenge of learning to fly the P51 from scratch.
Be patient, diligent, and persevere. The Mustang is on a complete different level. My first v4 Mustang takeoff and landing were admittedly as graceful as a monkey and a football, not having flown her since moving to v4. But even with many hours in fsx and previous P3D versions, the Mustang will remind you not so gently that you have to be on point. Keep at it and she will reward you.
